Which exotic animal would you like to have as a pet?
00:00:00 - Episode 7: On the outskirts of a rural Nevada town, Scott and Zuzana live behind 10-foot chain fences; not to protect themselves from intruders, but to protect intruders from their surprising pets. Dave and his dog Alice have an incredible bond, but Alice is no ordinary dog; she’s a dingo, Australia’s largest apex predator. Join us in Ken Foose’s Exotic Pets Store, Las Vegas, where you can find everything from ferrets and hedgehogs, through to snakes, giant spiders, scorpions and venomous lizards.
00:43:52 - Episode 8: Getting a 500-pound lion to do what you want is no mean feat; getting that lion to do what you want repeatedly and on-cue requires a very special talent. In this week’s episode we’ll learn the tricks of the trade from respected animal trainer, Steve Martin. We’ll also meet the Snake Man of La Perouse, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. His family have been treating visitors to the area to an amazing snake show for more than 100 years. Did you know that the mysterious and extinct Tasmanian Tiger was once kept as a pet? It’s closest living relative, the Tasmanian Devil is now highly endangered, is domestication the answer for this snarling whirlwind of teeth and muscle?
01:26:49 - Episode 9: Join our crew up close with elephants! This week’s episode takes you inside the elephant enclosure at Charlie Sammut’s Monterey Zoo. The largest horn circumference on record belonged to Woody, a Watusi bull from Bar G ranch in Utah. His left horn measured 40 inches around – that’s a waist measurement! The Watusis’ impressive horns are highly prized and highly dangerous. Seeing the aftermath of exotic pet owners who don’t properly care for their predator pets inspired Bobbi Brink to open a wildlife sanctuary and bring Lions, Tigers and Bears to Alpine California.
